According to the Navarashtra report, teachers’ unions in Maharashtra have threatened that schools across the state may remain closed on November 24 to protest the Supreme Court ruling making the TET mandatory. The protest is expected to affect thousands of students.

A joint meeting of teachers’ organisations was held recently at Raosaheb Patwardhan Vidyalaya and Junior College, Pune, where the unions demanded that the state government immediately file a review petition against the Supreme Court decision and coordinate with the central government.

The report states that if no action is taken within two weeks, the Maharashtra State Primary Teachers’ Association and the Municipal Primary Teachers’ Association will call for a statewide school closure.

MAHA TET 2025 Admit Card: SC makes test mandatory

The Supreme Court ruling makes qualifying the TET mandatory for both aspiring and in-service teachers seeking promotions. Teachers appointed before the RTE Act with less than five years of service remaining are exempt. The ruling also exempts teachers in minority institutions until a larger bench decides the applicability of the RTE Act for such schools.

State legislative sources estimate that 70–75% of teachers in Maharashtra will need to clear the TET within two years to continue their service or be eligible for promotions. Teachers who fail to qualify within the specified period may face termination but will receive retirement benefits if their service period meets the rules.
